Dynamic changes in motivation in collaborative citizen-science projects
This article was passed out at our meeting last week. I think it is a great article that talks about motivations both for volunteers and researchers. It will be a good thing to keep in mind when thinking about how we want to keep both parties engaged on Ripple projects. The article called both sides a partnership and evaluated the expections both sides had of each other.

Citizen Science Research Papers
This is a collection of citizen science research papers and their significance to these five points: 1. Definition of citizen science 2. Who participates in citizen science and the demographics of those participants 3. Participant’s motivation to get involved in the online sites 4. Citizen Science project best practices, what makes a good site 5. What are good rewards and motivations for users and researchers, what are the demographics of people who participate in pattern spotting type activities in areas other than citizen science
